Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and in particular to an automatic time setting method of an asynchronous mobile communication terminal.
  • a synchronous mobile communication terminal operated in a CDMA (code division multiple access) network receives time information from a base station.
  • an asynchronous mobile communication terminal (hereinafter, it is referred to as a terminal) operated in a GSM (global system for mobile communication) network and a GPRS (general packet radio service) network not only receives time information from a base station but also generates time information by using a RTC (real time clock) circuit disposed therein.
  • GSM global system for mobile communication
  • GPRS general packet radio service
  • the RTC circuit counts a low frequency clock signal (32.768KHz) and generates time information (second, minute, hour), and a CPU is synchronized with a high frequency clock signal (13MHz) and displays time information generated in the RTC circuit on a LCD.
  • a low frequency clock signal (32.768KHz) and generates time information (second, minute, hour)
  • a CPU is synchronized with a high frequency clock signal (13MHz) and displays time information generated in the RTC circuit on a LCD.
  • a time difference may occur between countries or cities.
  • the user has to calculate a time difference between a previous area and a present area and input a present time manually by using a time setting menu of the terminal.
  • the user when the user moves from Berlin (Germany) to London (England), the user has to calculate a time difference (-1) between Berlin and London and reset a present time (from a Berlin time to a London time) of the terminal by using a time setting menu of the terminal.
  • an asynchronous mobile communication terminal in accordance with the present invention includes a RTC (real time clock) circuit for generating time information; a memory for storing time difference information between areas; and a CPU for reading a time difference corresponding to area information of a first area and a second area from the memory when a user moves from the first area to the second area and controlling the RTC circuit.
  • RTC real time clock
  • an asynchronous mobile communication terminal in accordance with the present invention includes a RTC (real time clock) circuit for generating time information; a time difference table for storing time difference information between areas; a CPU for reading a time difference corresponding to a LAI (location area identification) or a RAI (routing area identification) of a first area and a second area from the time table when a user moves from the first area to the second area in a certain network and controlling the RTC circuit; and a LCD for displaying the time information generated by the RTC circuit.
  • a RTC real time clock
  • a time setting method of an asynchronous mobile communication terminal in accordance with the present invention includes requesting area information of a second area to a base station when a user moves from a first area to the second area in an asynchronous network; storing the area information of the second area provided from the base station in a time difference table; reading a time difference corresponding to the area information of the first and second areas from the time difference table; and resetting a time of the terminal by using the read time difference.
  • a time of an asynchronous mobile communication terminal is automatically reset by using a LAI (location area identification) of the first area and a LAI of the second area.
  • LAI location area identification
  • a time of an asynchronous mobile communication terminal is automatically reset by using a RAI (routing area identification) of the first area and a RAI of the second area.
  • RAI routing area identification
  • a time difference according to a LAI value and a RAI value is stored in a time difference table of the terminal.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view illustrating a terminal operated in the GSM/GPRS network in accordance with the present invention.
  • the terminal in accordance with the present invention includes a RTC circuit 10 for counting a low frequency clock signal of 32.768KHz and generating time information (second, minute, hour); a memory 20 for storing time difference information of areas; and a CPU 50 for reading the time difference stored in the memory 20 on the basis of LAI (or RAI) information provided from a base station through a RF processing block 30, controlling the RTC circuit 10 and displaying time information generated in the RTC circuit 10 on a LCD 40.
  • a RTC circuit 10 for counting a low frequency clock signal of 32.768KHz and generating time information (second, minute, hour); a memory 20 for storing time difference information of areas; and a CPU 50 for reading the time difference stored in the memory 20 on the basis of LAI (or RAI) information provided from a base station through a RF processing block 30, controlling the RTC circuit 10 and displaying time information generated in the RTC circuit 10 on a LCD 40.
  • LAI or RAI

  • MCC mobile country code
  • MNC mobile network code
  • LAC location area code
  • RAC routing area code
  • LAI information includes the MCC, the MNC and the LAC
  • RAI information includes the MCC, the MNC and the RAC.
  • the RTC circuit 10 When the user locates in the first area, the RTC circuit 10 counts a low frequency clock signal of 32.768KHz outputted from a crystal oscillator (not shown) and generates time information (second, minute, hour), and the CPU 50 displays the time information provided from the RTC circuit 10 on the LCD 40.
  • the terminal requests a location update or a routing area update to the base station.
  • the base station transmits the requested update location information or update routing area information to the pertinent terminal.
  • the terminal when the user located in the first area moves to the second area, the terminal performs location update or routing area update with the base station and receives new location information, namely, a LAI value or a RAI value through the RF block 30, and the CPU 50 stores the received LAI value or RAI value in the time difference table of the memory 20 as shown at steps S10 and S12
  • the CPU 50 reads the time difference information corresponding to the LAI or the RAI of the first and second areas from the time difference table and resets a time of the terminal by using pertinent time difference information as shown at step S16.
  • the CPU 50 checks whether there is a time difference between the first and second areas as shown at step S20, when there is the time difference, the CPU 50 outputs a time control signal corresponding to the read time information to the RTC circuit 10 as shown at step S22, and the RTC circuit 10 updates a count value of the low frequency clock signal according to the time control signal outputted from the CPU 50 and newly generates time information (second, minute, hour..) as shown at step S24.
  • the CPU 50 displays the time information newly generated in the RTC circuit 10 on the LCD 40 as shown at step S26, in the GSM/GPRS network, although the user of the terminal moves to an area at which there is a time difference, a time of the terminal can be automatically reset.
  • summer ' time information can be additionally included in the time difference table and be used in the time resetting operation.
  • the CPU 50 outputs a time control signal on the basis of a time difference by LAI, RAI and summer time information.
  • a time of the terminal is automatically reset by using LAI (or RAI) information of the first and second areas.
